Don’t think the two are comparable as ‘either or’. You may need programming to help get data in the first place- but if you can’t communicate and it’s need in some fashion, then the perceived value drops exponentially.

Good point. Important to build up all skills as a researcher from programming, to using statistics to writing effectively for both an academic & also general audiences, which are two different kinds of creatures. But is this being a jack of all trades?

I think they are core competencies of a good researcher, than when maximised, make excellent researchers and academics.

Honestly I never really thought a researcher needs to be good at multiple skills. But thinking about it, it's true. As well as understanding your area and being good at writing, you need to be up to date with programming, stats, be good at choosing good PhD students etc

It's true, the post doc years are in many ways the golden years as a researcher. From there beckons admin, science from a distance, 'strategic plans', and shit tons of tedious email.

I have plenty of tedious email already — so I REALLY feel you on that if it, for example, triples!

Ok, hope you're sitting down. Compared to my post doc years it has increased in daily volume by a factor of 10 with a huge drop in SNR
